Breaking Limits: A DBZ Fan-fic

Chapter 60

Kakarot sighed as he trudged back into the house. He had spent over an hour collecting all the scattered senzu and counting them. He counted twice just to make sure he had the right number. He didn't need Sarada punishing him evem more. Sarada hadn't caused any wounds to form on his body, so he was thankful for that. She didn't hurt him as much as he thought she would. The only pain he felt was on his muscles for some reason. And there's his back. It hurt after being thrown into the hard ground. He stretched, wincing at the immediate pain. He rotated his neck, receiving the same result. It was stiff. Geez. How could Sarada even do that? His entire body ached. And it wasn't even an ache he was constantly aware of. It was an ache that would only appear when certain movements were made. Which made it a million times worse. This way he wouldn't know where was in pain until it was triggered.

Such as right now, as he sat down and felt a pain so unknown to him he was actually shocked. He didn't even know where the pain was coming from. It was new pain. Seems he discovered another one. Sarada always brought pain he never felt before. In places he didn't know even existed on his body.

He sat there quietly for a long while. Just silently thinking over the choices that had led to him facing an angry sister. As he sat there he realized what an idiot he had been. There were many times where he had been warned not to partake in a fight against his father in the garden. Chichi had warned him, after catching the challenging gaze his father had set upon him. She knew immediately that a fight was brewing and made sure to warn Kakarot of the garden. He had nodded to her words, promising that he wouldn't do it.

Thinking back he didn't know if he had even heard a word Chichi had said to him. His excitement had blinded him. All reason was out the window.

He sighed again, sinking deeper into the comfortable sofa. He might just stay there unmoving for the entire day. He had made plans to go see Krillin, but that wouldn't be happening.

"Wallowing in self pity?"

He snickered at the words and voice of Chichi, even if it hurt a bit. She fell into the space next to him silently, but he could feel the amusement rolling off her. He could just hear the words she wanted to speak in his head. He knew it was just on the tip of her tongue. She would say it and not feel an ounce of remorse or pity for him.

"Go ahead and say it" He glanced at her, his expression one of defeat. She smiled slowly, obviously enjoying this. "You know you want to"

"I told you so" four simple words, but one she had been dying to say to Kakarot. She felt no concern nor pity for him after what Sarada had done to him. During his punishment she just watched silently, smiling whenever he looked up at her. She was enjoying it because she had warned the fool, but his excitement apparently deafened him.

"You couldn't help yourself, huh?"

"Not at all"

Kakarot slumped, head leaning back on the sofa and eyes focused on the ceiling. He expected no less from Chichi. She was that type of person and no change had taken part. He didn't know why a part of him believed she would change somewhat now that she was his girlfriend.

"Such a caring girlfriend I have" he mumbled. "You care so much about me"

Chichi's reply was a soft laugh. Did he really think her behavior towards him would change just because she was his girlfriend now? That was stupid and it made her laugh again.

"Why are you laughing?"

"No reason" Chichi bit her lip to stop from laughing again. She glanced at Kakarot who seemed confused for a moment. He must've decided to let the matter go for he shrugged and returned to staring at the ceiling.
